Unhappy with shutterfly photo scans

In 2006 I had taken a bunch of film photos and had them processed by shutterfly. Shutterfly also scanned these photos and put them in my account so I was happy. Finally this year I decided I wanted the scans on my computer and I ordered a DVD of them (you can't download the hi-res versions from the website). I was unpleasantly surprised when I got the scans back. They are 270 ppi or so, amounting to 1536x1024 from 35mm film. I would have expected something more detailed from them such as 2000 ppi or so. But it was a bad surprise as some of the photos were landscapes and I was looking forward to enlargements. I guess I'll have to dig out the negatives from the boxes.

You can flow text into arbitrary shapes in inkscape. (From a hint here).

You simply create a text box, type your text into it, create a frame with some drawing tool, select both the text box and the frame (click and shift) and then go to text->flow into frame.

UPDATE:

The omnipresent anonymous asked:Trying to enter sentence so that text forms the number three...any ideas?
